Beretta.net

Some people might not see it...... But I call this making progress.

The rear suspension is now free to travel with out interruptions from that pesky body. One step closer to actually driving this beast.

We are going widewide

!!!!!!For the 1st time in 6 years!!!!!!! The Z28 beretta has driven under it's own power out of the garage !!!!!!!

This is the only Z28 Chevy Beretta in existence. powered by a built 5.7 LT1 and that's right!!!! Rear wheel drive !!!!!!

Nice work! I have GOT to get some focus back to my Teal Indy (hey, I looked at it today ) -too many V-8 Berettas actually being built now for mine to stay sitting still (again). Really inspiring, how you've made the vision of your car, then gone so far to making your car into that vision. Bravo.

There was however a Carcraft article back in the day, where they made a Camaro Z-26... Long before the Berettas appeared, of course.

Big steps man! I'm interested to see how the wide body comes out.

That will be very wide body.. Maybe should have cut the body half from the middle and extend the whole car sideways

I thought about that waaaay back in the day for my old Camaro -wanted to use the wider axle from a GMC van too. What to do with the windshield though???

I think a 90's Buick Roadmaster windshield would have been an option, bigger issue would be that compound curved rear glass!

There would still be a ton of work widening the center ....splitting the front bumper, grille, roof, trunk lid , taillights, or outside ot the taillights on quarters, and rear facia. Trust me ....I've thought about it and decided this was most effective and was the look i was after.

Saw this car in person at Kil Kare today and wow... looked great out there on the track! Here’s a video I took.

Awesome!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!!

Yeeesss! Awesome video. Not only can the car be driven, but the driver can drive! Nice work. Don't quit now, you need that thing out on the streets and looking like it left the factory that way, take out a Ford Mud-stain for us.

Finally got around to wiring this line lock solenoid for the front brakes that came with the abs delete kit. Not sure how much use it will see. But could make for some fun easy burnouts. And was even able to re use the old switch panel I made back in the day.
